Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson wrote that before his death, Jobs said, “It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud ... It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it.” Who knows how close the new device will be to Jobs’ original vision, but all signs are pointing to a big unveiling in June ... Discuss
